Hi all. I am brand new to OTA topics but have been reading a lot and learning a lot. My primary motivation is getting TV to watch the Olympics but I'll probably occasionally watch shows afterward. I live in Hampton and have some strong signals fairly close:http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...990021b83113eb

I rent a house so would like to place the antenna inside on my TV or nearby. It's an older tube TV so I will also be buying a digital converter. The TV is on an exterior wall on the SW side of the house but no windows are on this wall. The windows face SE.

I see tons of antennas advertised on Amazon ranging from slick flat ones (link) to funky larger ones (link). I have no idea what will actually work so am really looking for any advice. Same for the digital converter if anyone has a recommendation. I would like to spend <$100 if possible. Thanks for any help!

PS- Do I have to buy a digital converter??? I thought everything is broadcast in digital since the switch a couple years ago, but the TV signal results shows analog signals. I'm confused.

Sounds like the Terk is the way to go. I just ordered it and will attempt to aim it once it arrives. I won't try to receive analog signals since they are disappearing soon anyway.
Thanks for the help everyone!

If the attic is wood frame with flat composition shingles , no metal backed insulation , no metal roof , no solar panels.
ANT751 antenna can be installed in the attic aimed at about 225 degree magnetic compass for improved reception.

Antenna and converter are received. I am seeing signals on the TV! I aimed the antenna at about 215 degrees magnetic and coverage is pretty good. The station I'm most concerned with is 10-1, NBC. Much of the time coverage is great but every minute or two there is lag in the audio and the video will get blocky. Sometimes this will continue for 30 seconds or so. It's pretty annoying when trying to watch a show. Does this sound like a reception issue or something with the converter? I currently have the antenna mounted on top of the TV with the antenna in the flat horizontal position. Vertical doesn't seem to help. Any other ideas? Thanks!
